Put The Kettle On
[08/30/2017]

[V]
Guess you could say it's tradition.
You could say it's a habit formed over time.
Not quite specific to location 
but more to my families state of mind.
Not for everyone but where I come from. 
If you drop in for a visit and you stay long.
While we sit and talk about this, that and the weather
someone will have put the kettle on.

[C]
Gran passed in on to her kids, who passed it on to theirs.
Who'll pass it to their own it's something we all share.
Once you've knocked and entered and way before you're gone. 
Someone will have put the kettle on.

[V]
There might be freshly baked scones steaming on the table.
Waiting for some butter and homemade jam. 
You'll have a bite or two while the tea is steeping,
take the mug you're offered 'cause the mug you understand.  [Chorus]

[V]
That's the way it goes, that's the way it is.
So why don't you come over, bring the wife and the kids?
Late afternoon or evening, even at the crack of dawn.
Sit down, take it easy and I'll put the kettle on. 

[Chorus]
Gran passed in on to my mom, who passed it on to me.
Who passed it on, well sort of, to my own family.
But if you knock and enter it will not take me that long.
To fill up that old kettle and to put that kettle on.
Once you've knocked and entered and way before you're gone. 
Someone will have put the kettle on.
